If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

I will watch a documentary film about waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditioners with either a bar or refillable option.

I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will make 4 of my own cleaning products at home.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

Disposable masks are made of mixed materials and not recyclable. When possible, I will reduce my waste while protecting myself and others by wearing a reusable face covering when in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.

I will spend 15 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.
